Let's face it, Portland has already been discovered! It's no secret that Portland offers big city culture and dining in a small city, and all that by the sea!  But there are still some new things to discover and one is The Press Hotel, celebrating it's first birthday with sweepstakes for a free stay.  See Contest Here The old Portland Press Herald Newspaper building (called the Gannett Building) was turned into a boutique hotel in the center of Portland as an Autograph Collection branded Marriott hotel.  A recent stay there for a winter wedding was as advertised- "Beyond Words". We enjoyed the high level boutique service and imaginative decor that played off the building's history as a newspaper building and it's location within easy walking distance of everything the Old Port District of Portland has to offer. 

Here a few photos from our stay at the Press Hotel in Old Port and stroll along Commercial St.
